Jewelry Braiding Techniques
I’m looking for braiding techniques for jewelry?
I make jewelry all the time from beads, wire and hemp. A guy friend asked me if I could make him a hemp bracelet, but he doesn’t like them skinny. I don’t know any other braiding techniques or any other way of making hemp jewelry other than the basic braid. All the websites I’ve seen are too complicated since I don’t know any of the hemp techniques. How can I make a thick hemp necklace out of thin hemp cord? I have several colors. Thanks!
There is the spiral and flat techniques. Look at this website for the instructions.

Good luck!
